Yes, that's what I'm talking about. It doesn't work fine, it's hijacking the back button behavior to not take me back to where I was.

And yeah, it's pretty harmless, and a neat hack, and I'm not trapped, but it seems a little scummy to me.

I somehow remember websites that hijack the back button (probably because it one of my larges annoyances). I don't click on links to websites that do it unless I open it in a new tab. It's extremely annoying if someone wanted to see your homepage they would have clicked in the banner at the top of the page. Obviously I wanted to go back, that's why I clicked the "back" button, its not called a "homepage" button. /rant

Yup. I wonder how people would like it if I rewrote history to send people to bing or pornhub or something when they clicked back once and made them click back twice to get back to hn...
